WPCO (1230 AM, "94.9 The Palm") was a radio station in Columbia, South Carolina. Last owned by Alpha Media, it broadcast an adult album alternative (AAA) format. Its studios were on Pineview Road in Columbia, with a transmitter tower located near Bicentennial Park along the Congaree River in downtown Columbia. It was also heard on FM translator W235CH at 94.9 MHz, using the translator's dial position as its moniker, "94.9 The Palm." (South Carolina is known as the Palmetto State.)
After going silent in January 2022, WPCO's license was cancelled and deleted by the FCC on January 5, 2023.[2] The AAA programming, no longer heard on the AM station, continues on the FM translator, 94.9 W235CH, now rebroadcasting co-owned 93.5 WARQ-HD4.
